Fatal error after install

  • Don’t know how to deal with error. Haven’t encountered this issue. Happens after I install WP.

    Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/homepages/24/d171570798/htdocs/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php7.4′) in /homepages/24/d171570798/htdocs/index.php on line 17

    I have tried erasing and uploading a fresh copy, since that seemed to work with similar posts I found, but it does the same thing.
    Not sure if this is aWordpress error or I need to contact my web host for help.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hello, what is the PHP version on your server? Also, what’s in your wp-blog-header.php file?

    You could try upgrading your PHP and reinstalling WordPress.

    the PHP 7.4

    in the wp-blog-header file:

    <?php
/**
 * Loads the WordPress environment and template.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

if ( ! isset( $wp_did_header ) ) {

	$wp_did_header = true;

	// Load the WordPress library.
	require_once __DIR__ . '/wp-load.php';

	// Set up the WordPress query.
	wp();

	// Load the theme template.
	require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php';

}

    I’ll try the upgrade rn.

    php updates to 8.0 and 8.1 result in the same error.
